pecanbread.com stages, Advice from experienced SCD appreciated

[Guest guest]

I have been on the intro diet for over a week. but i jumped the gun so i

restarted it in the middle

Very soon i intend on introducing new foods,(eggs, didnt work for me at first,

same with yogurt and apple sauce) i'm using the pecanbread.com guidelines

(stages) to introduce new foods. I am curious about green beans.

it writes:

VEGETABLES

Peeled, deseeded

& well cooked

Green Beans

(Especially French Cut )

Spinach

Zucchini

should i be removing the innards from within the sheath (the beans?), and

leaving just the sheath (or whatever it maybe called) to be eaten?

also, it says cooked, but can they be put on a little bit of oil and then

slightly seared, offcourse after they have been well cooked.. how wel should i

cook them for, can i put them in the oven to make them crispy in a way? (i know

we're all different so i will use caution)

at what stage is tomato juice able to be introduced? Which commercial tomato

juices are legal?

I have sooo many questions, but for now it'll be just that.

I kind of wish i could have a person to talk to thats on this diet and could be

my jedi master....

Thanks for looking and answering.

Thanks Jodi,

for veggies, i wasnt one to tolerate anything, i have severe UC, meaning i go to

the bathroom at least 7-10 times a day. so i would avoid anything and everything

with seeds or fiber. (except bananas)

Rice used to work like a charm for me, and same with bread, and butter and

cheese would do well as well (but being on the intro diet ive only had 2 bowel

movements today after 18 hours of the 24 hour day.... ive never EVER had it this

low since i got sick over a year ago)

right now, i have: chicken broth (homemade), boiled chicken breasts and thighs,

bananas (ripe offcourse), pan seared pork or chicken with a tad bit of olive

oil, homemade apple juice (i use a juicer to extract the juice, so its more of

an apple cider).

I do experience cramping, and urgency, but its much reduced, and FAR LESS

frequent.

I do understand that those are rough guidelines, and offcourse each person is a

little different, but i feel sooo hungry, and sooo tired, i feel i need to

introduce some new things, friday i am going to introduce the yogurt since i

havent been tolerating that ( could be just cause id have like 24oz. a day, and

i had lots of apple sauce as well, over 32 oz. a day....) now i will be much

more cautious.

I will have about 2 tables spoons of the yogurt in the morning and 2 in the

evening for 3 days from friday to sunday, and see how that works, after that i

intend on trying eggs (omlette style. (with cheese, would that be advisable)

I just fear making a mistake and getting back to 8 BMs a day... cause at that

point i feel i would break and just go out and get a cheeseburger with fries,

and be at least happy about how full i'd feel... this intro period is just

rough, and i have to make all of my own food and i am exhausted after all my

classes finish, and i have grad schools i need to apply to. I know it gets

better, i just want to ease into it right without having to worry about going

back to soup and boiled chicken everyday....

Well, you can have the cheeseburger, no biggy. That's even for right

after intro.

May as well have it and get rid of the urge, because you'll have

fluctuations on

SCD - so it's not worth it to get off because of a temporary setback.

Just don't eat the fries.

you got a few months yet for that, right. So don't panic. Stress

brings on

symptoms.

You should consider LDN (low dose naltrexone) - it will help take care

of the cramping and the

exhaustion and help make the diet's healing faster and more efficient.

Mara,

Love this advice.. Cheeseburger is legal just hold the fries LOL.

Obviously, a legal cheeseburger people.

LOL.

I love just how active this little listserv is... i feel like i am among people

who understand... my girlfriend says she does, and she sort of sympathsizes with

me, but doesnt understand why sometimes id freak out if i ate something with a

food that i know will cause an overnight stay on the toilet.

I have eaten cheese over the last 4 days, i had about 1/2 oz. of cheddar thrice

or twice, I'm pretty sure i tolerate cheese well... but, i am keeping it to a

minimum until i truly introduce it. As far as eggs, maybe i should do a soft

boiled egg instead of scrambled/omlette. The way i intend on introducing foods

is by having it everyday for 3-4 days, and that way if the BM begin increasing i

know for sure this is really too early to introduce it and it wont work. It just

seems that trying it once in a small amount and not eating it for 3-4 wouldnt

exactly make an indentation in the frequency of BMs (i might be wrong)

oh and when i said cheeseburger, i meant with a bun, and sesame seeds, and

bacon... and ketchup lettuce, mushrooms.... mmm five guys cheeseburgers are off

the hook.

but i have come to accept that for now i cant have these things, and i am more

fine with it, if it means sacraficing that, then be it.

I have eaten beef, but i find i dont like it just plain without any spices or

without potatoes or rice, or something starchy (unless its ground beef)

PS. adding some butter and sea salt to boiled chicken, multiplied the taste by

soo much. thanks for that tip, it sure gives a little kick everything.

I have a pizza shop on the corner of my building. Sometimes, I just stop and inhail (no, not like Bill Clinton) and just get high off of the pizza smell. Interestingly, I have absolutely no desire to eat it.This totally happened to me today! Well, with twizlers. My bro was eating them in the car, and they smelled amazing, so I just took the bag and inhaled, but didn't really have any desire to eat them. Just smelling them was enough. Yay!

Hi, I am a newbie here and am more familiar with GAPS than Pecanbread, but from

what I understand, slower softer cooking is gentler and faster heat that makes

crispy is tougher to digest and sometimes carcinogenic.

Hope it helps, Anne

Still can't do boiled eggs!

I can however do scrambled (first type to agree with me)

Soft boiled and raw.. Crazy huh?

Hard boiled eggs give me terrible gas and funky smelling and uncomfortable

burps.

There was a brief time I could handle hard boiled eggs- even with as good as I

am feeling these days (YAY!!) hard boiled eggs are a no no.

So like you need to experiment as we are all different.

Marilyn could do soft boiled in the begining.

Soft boiled eggs nearly killed me when I first tired to intro.

Hi..

> I love just how active this little listserv is... i feel like i am among

people who understand... my girlfriend says she does, and she sort of

sympathsizes with me, but doesnt understand why sometimes id freak out if i ate

something with a food that i know will cause an overnight stay on the toilet.

My husband is super supportive of me.. but still it is hard to really understand

these shoes until you fill them.. With that said I would never want him to

totally understand my situation as that would mean he's afflicted with this

horrible situation...

> I have eaten cheese over the last 4 days, i had about 1/2 oz. of cheddar

thrice or twice, I'm pretty sure i tolerate cheese well... but, i am keeping it

work. It just seems that trying it once in a small amount and not eating it for

3-4 wouldnt exactly make an indentation in the frequency of BMs (i might be

wrong)

Just see how you do..

Seems to me you tolerate cheese!

Don't over analyze this..

And practice protion control in the sense of not doing what I do and going nuts

with Havarti cheese or cashews.. I could eat like a ton of those puppies.. and

then I wonder why I don't feel great, LOL.

3-4 days is good.. but just keep checking in with yourself and see how you do.

If you find that things aren't going so smoothly then back off. It's like a

delicate dance.. You'll get the swing of it.

Frequency of BM's isn't the only thing to look at.. So is lethargy, cramps..

anything that stops you in your tracks big time.

I often times experience changes in bowel habit when I intro something. These

changes however are not uncomfortable so I wait and then proceed just to make

sure it is not a warning signal. Back when I first started those warning

signals were off for me and it was super challenging to read my body. Today the

signals are much more clear.

I attribute bowel changes for *me* to the fact that it takes my body time to

adjust to something new and then it like often times self corrects..

> oh and when i said cheeseburger, i meant with a bun, and sesame seeds, and

bacon... and ketchup lettuce, mushrooms.... mmm five guys cheeseburgers are off

the hook.

The truth is.. I got a picture of a Big Mac (LOL, I never even ate Mcs

even when I could- amazing how advertising has braded my brain) that is why I

was like " ehh can't have that "

But I let my imagination assume and run wild as to what you meant so Mara's

comment cracked me up showing me just how off the mark I was.

Big juicy cheese burgers smothered in Veggies is totally legal and there are

some yum sauces, relishes you can make that are delish with it!!

I don't get fancy in the kitchen as I just make it simple for myself.. But the

creativity that SCD'ers have in the kitchen is amazing and there is such yummy

food.. really..

Be nice if we were all close enough to throw an Uber pot luck.

> but i have come to accept that for now i cant have these things, and i am more

fine with it, if it means sacraficing that, then be it.

It gets easier.

You're human after all.

> I have eaten beef, but i find i dont like it just plain without any spices or

Yeah.. I used to be like Huh? Steak without potatoes.. you gotta be kidding

me.. and now it is like there is absolutely no need for potatoes...

> PS. adding some butter and sea salt to boiled chicken, multiplied the taste by

soo much. thanks for that tip, it sure gives a little kick everything.

I know!! I am a ghee fiend.. although I gotta keep an eye on the amount.. Many

don't so dollop it up!!

I switched to Ground Bison (that I buy at the farmers market in a whopping

amount- I get a discount) and then once a month my husband grinds a whole bunch

for me and I freeze!

Works so much better for me than eating beef all the time.

Beef is now like something I eat as a steak if I go out to eat! YAY! I can eat

out now! Woohoo!

If you run things like squash through a food mill, it takes out all the fiber.

You're left with something as smooth and soft as baby food. Personally, I find

it a little less appetizing to eat, but I certainly don't have to worry about

getting a blockage with it! I've also eaten cranberry sauce run through the food

mill. It takes all the skin and seeds out. Yum!

For me, I like to lay in bed at night and imagine I was eating one of my old SAD

favorites. I feel like I can practically taste them! Weirdly, it provides

satisfaction to just remember a taste.
